Vpon the Annunciation and Passion |
falling on one day. An. Do: 168. |
|
Tamely frayle flesh, abstayne to day, to day [17] |
My Soule eates Christ twice, hither, and away. |
Shee sees him man, so like God made in this |
That of them both a Circle Embleme is |
Whose first and last concurre. This doubtfull day |
Of feast or fast Christ came and went away, |
Shee sees him nothing, twice at one, who is all |
Shee sees a Cedar plant it selfe, and fall, |
Her maker put to making, and the head |
Of life, at once, not yet aliue, and dead. |
Shee sees at once the virgin mother stay |
Reclusd at home, publicke at Golgotha. |
Reioyc'd and sadd shee's seene at once, and seene |
At almost fifty, and at scarse fifteene. |
A Sonne at once is promisd her, and gon. |
Gabriel giues Christ to her, Hee her to Iohn. |
Not fully a Mother shee's in Orbity |
At once receauer, and the Legacy. |
All this, and all betweene, this day is showne |
Th'Abridgemt. of Christs story wch. makes one |
As in playne Mapps the farthest East is West) |
The Angels Aue, and the ConsumĖatium est. |
How well the Church, gods Cort of facultyes |
Deales in, sometime, and seldome ioyning these!
